SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting machines unless otherwise noted. The user is responsible for installing and operating the equipment in accordance with the enclosed instructions. It is important that users of this equipment protect themselves and others from harm, or even death. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Welding arc rays from all welding and cutting processes can produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. • Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with an appropriate shade of filter lens to protect your face and eyes when welding, cutting or watching.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Safety against fumes and welding gases The HSE have identified welders as being an ‘at risk’ group for occupational diseases arising from exposure to dusts, gases, vapours and welding fumes. The main identified health effects are pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung and kidney cancer, metal fume fever (MFF) and lung function changes.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION The working environment Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable position allowing for cooling air circulation. Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down operating parameters. The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow. Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Fire awareness The cutting and welding process can cause serious risks of fire or explosion. Cutting or welding sealed containers, tanks, drums or pipes can cause explosions. Sparks from the welding or cutting process can cause fires and burns. Check and risk assess the area is safe before doing any cutting or welding.

TIG welding electrodes TIG welding electrodes are a ‘non consumable’ as it is not melted into the weld pool and great care should be taken not to let the electrode contact the welding pool to avoid weld contamination.
Page 65
The TIG process can use both non contact and contact methods to provide arc starting. Depending on the Jasic model, the options are indicated on a selector switch on the front control panel of the power source. The most common method of arc starting is ‘HF’ start. This term is often used for a variety of starting methods and covers many different types of start.
